mrAru was wisting after a restaurant in LA of the past called the Iranian Shish Kebab House, that closed [because the head cook and his staff apparently walked out] back in the 1970s. I know it is a long shot, but he was wondering if they all settled in a different kitchen or split up, and if they stayed together [for certain values of together] and are still cooking somewhere. He remembers the name of the cook was Parris.

I cant find any mention of that particular resident but LA is home to more Persians than anywhere outside of Iran. Here is a list of modern Persian restaurants that he might be interested in.

From the 70s? By now they’d all be retirement aged at best, and dead at worst.
